Iowa § 357.34

• Jurisdiction: Iowa
• Title IX: LOCAL GOVERNMENT
• Ch. 357: WATER DISTRICTS

Text

1. If a city is situated wholly or partly within a benefited water district or the source of
supply for a benefited water district is a municipal water system, the board of supervisors
having jurisdiction of the benefited water district, at the request of the trustees of the
benefited water district, may, by proper resolution, convey to the city any and all rights that
the board of supervisors may have in and to the benefited water district. The conveyance,
however, shall not become effective until all existing obligations against the district have
been completely and fully discharged and the conveyance accepted and confirmed by a
resolution of the council of that city or of the board of waterworks trustees of that city, if
there is one, specially passed for that purpose.
2. Upon acceptance, the district, including the plant and distribution system, as well as all
funds and credits, shall become the property of the city and be operated and used by the city
to the same extent as if acquired under such provisions of law under which the city is then
operating its waterworks. Upon acceptance by the city, the offices of the trustees as provided
in this chapter shall be abolished and the duties of the trustees as such shall immediately
cease.
